I REGRET never trying this before. I was Blown Away by Results 🔥 Modified Reverse Sear Chuck Steak

The Reverse Sear Method offers distinct benefits when cooking a chuck roast. This technique involves first slow-roasting the meat at a lower temperature and then searing it at high heat towards the end. When applied to a chuck roast, this method ensures exceptional results.
By slow-roasting initially, the meat cooks evenly from edge to center, resulting in a tender and juicy interior. This is particularly advantageous for a tough cut like chuck roast, as it allows collagen and connective tissues to break down gradually, rendering the meat more tender. The extended cooking time also allows for better flavor penetration and uniform doneness.
Searing the roast at the end creates a delicious crust on the exterior, enhancing texture and flavor. Additionally, this method minimizes the risk of overcooking or uneven cooking, producing a visually appealing and delectable dish. The Reverse Sear Method thus transforms a humble chuck roast into a flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth culinary experience that's sure to impress.

I’ve been doing the Carnivore Diet for 7 months and discovered chuck roasts a couple of months in. I buy the family packs (usually two roasts) which I slice in half making each into a nice thick “steak”. Sprinkle on my favorite seasoning called “Pluck” patting it onto both sides. Having preheated my air fryer to 400 degrees, I place the steak in for 5 minutes, then flip it and do another 5 minutes. That gets me a very nice rare to medium rare piece of meat which I plate and slather it with butter. Chuck roast has become my go to cut for breakfast and dinner. 🫡

@Glen.Black. 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for your various videos. I get these for about $3.97/lb, sometimes less and then cut it across the grain as thinly as possible and stir fry it with a little olive oil and some butter, seasoned (as I cook it), with a mix (Pink Himalayan Salt, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Ground Pepper) that I pre-make and put in a large shaker, for all my beef cuts . Actually very tasty, and not tough because it is cut across the grain. Strips are no more than 2" long. I cut the whole roast up at once, and put it in several zip-loc bags with a portion size of what I will use in 1-3 days. One goes in the frig for use, the others go in in the freezer. In order to cut it easily, I partially freeze it on the day I buy it, or remove it from the freezer and let it partially thaw. If you try to cut it raw, you can't get the slices very thin as it is just too floppy. Depending on my mood, I might make a kind of beef stroganoff out of it by simply adding some sour cream, after it's cooked. I eat it just that way, but you could put this over noodles, rice or mashed potatoes and it is very good. The olive oil goes really well with the sour cream. If you use a thickener, although not needed, make sure you put the flour or whatever you use in cool or cold water and stir it, using a very small amount of water. This will keep it from clumping. If you add flour to the hot dish it will clump immediately and there is no turning back.

I have a nicely marbled Prime Chuck roast I salted and seasoned with Montreal over night. Then I put it in the smoker for an hour, then put it in a sous vide bath at 134 degrees for 48 hours, around dinner time tonight when it is done. Then I'll sear it over about 1,800 degree searing station on my BBQ and serve. It is so close to a prime rib eye most people would not be able to tell the difference. Granted that prime chuck is hard to find and costs $10 a lb but you can find a great choice sometimes that are very well marbled. The sous vide makes it tender without overcooking. You had a nice cook on the one you did in the video but Chuck is tough and in my experience it is not as tender as a steak unless cooked like a brisket or low and slow like sous vide.

I like chuck! It's a good cut. I had some good success the other week with a piece of silverside. NOT super, eat with your gums tender, but certainly NOT inedible. Fried plain, chewey but not hard to eat with great flavour. 2nd tenderised with papain powder, it was a lot better, then 3rd piece sous vide for 2+hrs @ ~70C, then pan seared, was a tad over done for my liking, but was tender enough that the fibre broke down nicely! MY theory, the tougher, working muscles have the MOST flavour, & the more passive muscles, that are tender, have less/different flavour. It is always going to BE a trade off between strong beef flavour and ease of chew! BUT if you're willing to experiment a bit, you CAN kinda have BOTH, within reasonable limits, @ cheaper prices!

@@ralphknowsfood Who originally made A1 sauce? As the story goes, the sauce was concocted specifically for King George IV by his personal chef, Henderson William Brand, in the 1820s. The King himself gave it a stamp of approval, proclaiming "A1" to his chef and the name stuck. The King part may be a myth.

I saw a video where they cooked it in a oven set at 125° for 24 hours but I cannot find that video now, and don't have that much courage, so will set my oven to it's lowest temperature of 170°. My air fryer will go down to 120° but I will stick with 170 in a full size oven.

@ralphknowsfood Ай бұрын

I think your on the right track with this. I recently did a video on round steak and started the reverse sear at 225 degrees. By the time i pulled it out of the oven, it was obviously not done, but that gave me plenty of time to put the sear on it without over cooking the inside. Doing it too low will take a really long time, but it does help with keeping it tender.

@@ralphknowsfood I did it overnight which got it a bit overdone, but my wife fears too low a temp. fearing that it will spoil in the process. I dry brine for a day which I believe will remove any viable bacteria.

I wonder if that chuck had been salted and left overnight in the fridge may have turned out more tender. Maybe mix in a little papain or bromelain with the salt and it should break down the fibers pretty well overnight.

Regardless of being able to dial in the exact internal temperature you want to achieve, a chuck roast is still chewy and more suited to braising. You obviously don't have anything to offer.

I will consider these alternatives. I have had luck with Intermittent Fasting in the past ( I had lost about 80 pounds at one point ), but it's kind of hard to do while having a cooking channel. I have recently been having some success following the advice of a doctor who specializes in obesity. We'll see how this goes. Maybe if I started another channel about this, I would feel more obligated to follow through. Thanks for the advice.
